Disclaimer
Last Updated: October 5, 2026
This Disclaimer explains important limits and clarifications related to Light Matter Coaching, LLC, this website, and coaching services provided by Amanda Heck.
By using this website, reading content, subscribing to emails, submitting a form, scheduling a Connection Call, booking coaching services, registering for group coaching, or otherwise engaging with Light Matter Coaching, you acknowledge and agree to this Disclaimer.
Coaching Is Not Therapy or Medical Care
Light Matter Coaching provides non-clinical personal and professional development coaching.
Coaching may support reflection, self-understanding, values, communication, choice, action, leadership, creativity, identity exploration, neurodiversity-related self-understanding, and personal or professional growth.
Coaching is not therapy, mental health treatment, diagnosis, crisis support, medical care, legal advice, financial advice, or a substitute for support from a licensed medical, mental health, legal, financial, or other qualified professional.
Amanda Heck holds coaching credentials, including Associate Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation, Certified Professional Coach, Whole Person Certified Coach, Trauma Informed Coach, and Neurodiversity Coach. Amanda Heck is not licensed as a Nevada health-care or mental-health provider.
Trauma-Informed, Neurodiversity-Affirming, and Whole Person Coaching
Light Matter Coaching is grounded in trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming Whole Person Coaching.
These approaches shape the way coaching is held, including attention to choice, consent, pacing, identity, lived experience, context, nervous-system awareness, communication, and different ways of thinking, processing, sensing, and moving through the world.
​
These approaches are used within a coaching context. They are not used to diagnose, treat, heal, or provide clinical care.
​
Any body awareness, somatic, present-moment mindfulness, or regulation-oriented practices offered in coaching are intended to support reflection, awareness, and in-the-moment noticing. They are not medical treatment, mental health treatment, trauma treatment, or a substitute for professional care.
You are always welcome to pass, adapt, pause, or stop a practice.
Personal Responsibility and No Guaranteed Results
Coaching is collaborative.
​
You are responsible for your own choices, actions, decisions, wellbeing, and how you use or interpret coaching reflections, questions, exercises, resources, or materials.
​
Light Matter Coaching does not guarantee specific outcomes, results, timelines, income, career changes, relationship changes, emotional outcomes, personal changes, business results, or other achievements.
​
Coaching may support clarity, reflection, movement, and choice, but outcomes depend on many factors, including your context, participation, timing, choices, circumstances, and support systems outside of coaching.
Website Content, Blog Posts, Emails, and Resources
The content on this website, including blog posts, emails, reflections, resources, exercises, downloads, and other materials, is provided for general informational, educational, and reflective purposes.
​
This content is not individualized coaching unless provided within an agreed coaching relationship.
​
Using this website, reading content, subscribing to emails, downloading resources, submitting a form, or following Light Matter Coaching on social media does not create a coaching relationship.
​
A coaching relationship is created only when both you and Light Matter Coaching agree to work together through an applicable booking, agreement, or service process.
Crisis and Emergency Support
Light Matter Coaching does not provide crisis support and is not monitored as an emergency service.
​
If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
​
If you are in the United States and need mental health-related crisis support, you can call or text 988 or use the 988 Lifeline chat service.
​
Light Matter Coaching may keep information private, but Amanda may end a session, contact emergency services, or disclose information when required or permitted by law, or when reasonably necessary due to serious imminent harm or safety concerns.
Health, Mental Health, Legal, and Financial Decisions
You are responsible for seeking appropriate professional support when needed.
​
Nothing on this website, in coaching sessions, in group coaching, in email communications, in resources, or in related materials should be understood as medical advice, mental health advice, diagnosis, treatment, legal advice, financial advice, or crisis support.
​
Please consult an appropriate licensed or qualified professional for questions related to health, mental health, medication, diagnosis, treatment, legal matters, financial decisions, taxes, business structure, or other specialized professional needs.
Group Coaching
Group coaching is a shared coaching space, not therapy, support group facilitation, mental health treatment, crisis support, or medical care.
​
Participants are asked to respect privacy, confidentiality, and shared group agreements, but group confidentiality cannot be guaranteed because other participants are present.
​
Participants are responsible for choosing what they share in group settings and for honoring the privacy and dignity of others.
Session Recording, Transcription, and AI-Supported Tools
Coaching sessions are not recorded, transcribed, or summarized using AI-supported tools unless you are aware of and consent to that use.
​
When tools such as Zoom, Honeybook, or Fathom Video are used, they may process meeting content to create recordings, transcripts, summaries, AI-generated notes, action items, or related session materials.
​
Light Matter Coaching may also use AI-supported tools, including OpenAI, for business operations, writing, planning, administrative drafting, de-identified coaching-related support, resource development, website copy, workflow design, or draft preparation.
​
When AI-supported tools are used for coaching-related support, Light Matter Coaching makes reasonable efforts to limit, minimize, or de-identify client information before using the tool. AI-generated output is reviewed by Amanda before being used in connection with client communication or business decisions.
​
AI-supported tools are not used as the primary client record system and are not used to make automated decisions about eligibility for coaching services.
Testimonials and Client Experiences
Testimonials, reviews, and client comments reflect individual experiences.
​
They are shared for informational purposes and do not guarantee that you will have the same or similar experience, outcome, insight, result, or level of progress.
​
Coaching experiences vary depending on many factors, including context, goals, timing, choices, participation, circumstances, and fit.

This website and Light Matter Coaching services may include links to or use of third-party websites, platforms, tools, payment processors, scheduling tools, video conferencing platforms, email services, document tools, analytics tools, AI-supported tools, or other service providers.
